Full Description

A medieval chapel dedicated to St Nicholas is recorded as having been at Dogdyke. The earliest reference to the chapel seems to be in 1310, with a slightly later reference of 1342 made when a chantry was established at the chapel. The chapel is thought to have existed until the Dissolution, at which point William Saunderson was recorded as chaplain. It was likely closed at this point, although reference is made to it still apparently standing when Gervase Holles made his survey of Lincolnshire churches in the mid 17th century. No trace of the former chapel is now thought to survive, and its exact former location is unknown. {1}{2}
